An artificial brain to play GO

Developing a computer system that is capable of playing GO at a professional level is one of the greatest challenges facing artificial intelligence research at the moment. This project will look at advanced artificial intelligence techniques to build a humancompetitive professional GO player. The project will develop a large-scale neuralbased system to model strategies at both the tactical and strategic levels of GO. The research will focus on a computational neural architecture for GO inspired by a number of models in human psychology.
